NOTE: if you have done both these in recent classes, make it a review, then do the following Drill:
Drill: defender's eyes closed; attacker makes a choke with a push front or back; the defender feels the attack and just makes the defense (no counters yet). This is a drill to practice reaction and awareness. After this drill, add counterattacks.
INTERMEDIATE (A2)
Hook Punch -- vary the distance; practice short range, medium range, and long range hooks with both hands
Drill: First Strike - practice taking a modified fighting stance against a threatening person; if you can get the pad holder to be verbal and take on the role of a bully, that is even better; the defender should warn the attacker not to come closer; when the attacker steps closer (within arm's reach) the defender makes a solid right hook.
